Board of Management
The school's board of management is properly constituted, meets regularly and receives updates on financial matters. The board upholds the characteristic spirit of the school and a strong sense of community in which pupils, teachers, support staff, parents and the wider community work well together is promoted and practised. The board is committed to effective provision of education within the school and facilitates the formulation and adoption of policy documents as necessary.
It has played an active role in the development of aspects of school policy. Curriculum policy is drafted by teams of teachers and at a later stage presented to the board for review and ratification. The board is conscious of its statutory obligations and ensures compliance with the Department of Education regulations.
Very positive, supportive relationships exist between the board of management and the parents' association. The principal works closely with the chairperson of the board of management who visits the school regularly. Together they play a central role in facilitating a sense of ownership among the partners. Good communication is fostered through both formal and informal contacts. The board recognises its responsibility towards provision for continuous professional development for staff and a policy to streamline practice in this regard is being developed.
